Programme for Colombian artists
Programme
The Colombian Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledge and the Cité internationale des arts present the second edition of an annual creative and research residency programme for artists of all disciplines, from the indigenous, afrodescendant, raizal, palenquero and Roma communities, based in Colombia.
Initiated in 2024, the aim of this program is to encourage the international mobility of artists from ethnic groups linked to the arts, creation and design, and to expand their professional and artistic network. The partners undertake to support each artist’s project by enabling them to benefit from professional advice, support in translating exchanges, networking and a funded three-month residency in Paris.
